Support IPI today for a free press tomorrow.

Threats to democracy and press freedom are surging around the world. As authoritarianism and populism gain ground, journalists are being attacked, jailed, dragged to court, surveilled, targeted, and harassed for the “crime” of reporting the news. Facts and truth are under siege.

IPI is on the front lines of the fight to protect media freedom as a pillar of free, democratic societies. But we need your help.

By donating to IPI, you will help us continue our mission to protect public-interest journalism. Your donation, no matter how small, will contribute to making sure journalists everywhere can do their jobs freely and safely — reporting the facts and enabling democracy.
